Observations...

First things first... The town I'm in has a VERY low population, well below 50K people. Plenty of jobs here, but not enough people to work them. Where I'm resting my head is a Shelter and again I have no issues with staying in a Shelter. A Place to rest my head, wash my ass...electricity, and food and I can make do with anything else. Employment...

Yesterday morning I got up early...well my normal NORMAL time 5am and took out my laptop and change my locations on all of the employment worksites I used while in NYC. Indeed.com... I must have sent about 20 responses to ads looking for help wanted in The Food Service Industry. While I was at it, I also updated my resume to reflect my address of being in this town/city of Virginia. A couple hours later...

While sitting in the Computer Lab that this shelter has, Staff made an announcement for anyone wanting to work at $11 an hour in a Bakery Production site. Of course I raised my hand. The guy was coming by in a few minutes to pick us up, I was the only one. I made $90 for 5 hours of work and was asked did I want to work for them as an employee but the next day I will be paid cash. I had NO problems with that.

On the way back to the Shelter I checked my emails and cell phone messages. I got a voice message AND a text from Yellowstone National Park, I applied for a Cook position from September to January 31st. They scheduled me for a Video Interview on Saturday. This should be fun.

One thing I've noticed... After updating my resume to show my address for Virginia..all the places I've applied to on Indeed,ALL of them have either texted, called or remained me to schedule or come in to be interviewed. But I'm already working at a Bakery that does HUGE production. My job is to put the loaves in the plastic racks coming off the line. Believe me, I WAS a huge fan of bread, not any more.
